Geeze Louise, what a spread.

Jan Oelofse Hunting Safaris https://www.janoelofsesafaris.com is a great outfit. My first safari of any kind was with them. I took eight animals home. Second safari with them produced a nice trophy leopard. I belive they have since undergone some major upgrades to the facilities. They have...

Wishing about the next hunt. My Zimbabwe buff and Impala finally shipping out. Send to Mark Stanley in Montana

"The saw of the leopard" how appropriate. Brought me back to my leopard hunt in Namibia. I too heard it but didn't know what it was. As we sat in the dark freezing blind with a million stars overhead, the PH motioned to me and made a sawing motion. "Leopard" It sent chills down my spine...

Kangaroo, turtle, eel, boar, Black and Blue Wildebeest, Impala, Kudu, alligator, Cape Buffalo, frogs, Natto, wana (Hawaiian spiny urchin) horse, whale, octopus, spiny lobster, crab, just a few. As a kid we had an upcoming birthday (one of the many cousins) so there was a hog to butcher. My...

Congrats on your Lion. I would just do a full sitting pose on a small pedestal if that's feasible

I bought one in 416 and 375. I had to send the 375 H&H back to their gunshop in KS. It wasn't feeding well and the round would get stuck while feeding it up the ramp. I got it back but never trusted it so it sits in it's case. I have a few more hunts in me and would like to use it.

My CZ 550 shot well out of the box. Plus you can load 4 rounds (the Company brochure said Five rounds) but 4 was the most I carried in the rifle.

When I bought my CZ550 416 Rigby in preparation for my Cape Buffalo hunt I was going every Sunday to my local range. I was shooting 20 rounds each Sunday mostly from a sitting position with a lead sled. My friend was reloading for me and I actually came to enjoy it. Of course I made mistakes...

Thanks for the info, glad to see that there are adjustments for it if needed.

One caveat on the CZ 550 Rigby is a set trigger. If you push the trigger forward, for lack of a better term, it becomes a hair trigger, meaning any slight touch, tug or whisper and the round touches off. My curiosity got the better of me one day at the range lucky for me I had the rifle...

While on a leopard hunt with Oelofse Safari at Mt. Etjo, Namibi one of the clients came in for lunch and mentioned that she and her Ph came across a black mamba crossing the road. They stopped and watched as the snake elevated it self up above the hood of their truck and began to scan them...

RB not to be obnoxious but can you post photos later so the rest of us can live vicariously and see what kept me out of trouble? Mahalo

I'd like that at my back door. Would not have to worry about any unwanteds coming inside.

I have a CZ 550 Rigby in 416. I took a 42 inch Cape Buffalo in Zimbabwe. I like the availability of having an extra round. It is solid and well built. IMHO.

saw that too. I got one taking my Kudu in Namibia

Chap stick (lip balm), locks for all four securing points on your rifle case, heavy wool socks, good sharp knife. head cover.

Sorry if I messed this comment up. Just trying to give credit to Phil for my leopard

Here’s my cat Phil did for me

I flew out of LAX first part of September. Was delayed by Qatar 2 days due to first flight canceled and the next days flight was full. The routed me thru London for the next day. I received an email with the new itinerary flying through London. I was already in contact with Shawn Kennedy of...

Hunted twice at their Mt. Etjo location. Plains game and leopard. If you haven't checked yet look for their YouTube video. and www.mount-etjo.com and JAN OELOFSE HUNTING SAFARIS.

Definitely chapstick. First safari in Namibia (May) every time i smiled for photo ops turned into a grimace. Knife. Returning back to camp, spitting cobra was sitting in front of the PH's door. Of course the knife wouldn't be appropriate to try and dispatch the snake, a large stone nearby...

Beautiful Buff. Just hunted with Wayne in he Senoko area mid September got my dagga boy a few days after we got into camp.

Thank you everyone for your comments. It's one of several reasons i have stayed with this group. Looking for one more hunt for sable and bush buck in a couple of years. Will post pictures once I get the buff back from Mark Stanley.

Aloha BT, I forgot to mention the buff was measured by Wayne at a spread of 42 inches. I can’t remember what the length of horn the Impala had but per Wayne it was impressive.

Just completed my Cape Buffalo hunt with Wayne in Save, Senoko area. Here's part of the story. I'll leave out the flights and struggles with Airline personnel. So I left Honolulu on 29 August to LAX. Qatar Flight canceled and I lost a day and a half. Finally got airborne on Sept 1st on Qatar...

Used Qatar Airways on Sept 30 out of LAX (via Honolulu) except my flight was canceled 3 hours after it was supposed to leave. We had to retrieve all of out luggage which was my large suitcase and rifle case. We were put up at the Hyatt but had to leave a day later. Business class was awesome...

I left Honolulu for LAX and checked my rifle and ammo both in Pelican cases and stored ammo in checked luggage with no issues. Just had to open both for inspection. TSA was notified by check in personnel, she said to wait a few minutes ( about ten) no TSA arrived, she said I was good to go...

Speaking of rampaging elephants, there was an incident in my town when the circus came to visit and staged at our local arena. I had comp tickets to the show so took my kids and wife. We were seated on chairs on the floor so had a great view. When the elephants came in they passed in front of...

Never a truer observation has been made regarding the antics of the Black Wildebeest. I always ask my PH to slow down whenever we encounter a herd, and i have never been disappointed with their antics

Pelican case took out the foam and packed 5 boxes of 300 win mag. Was inspected and point of travel and never had any problems transiting thro Joberg then onto Windhoek. Probably more ammo than necessary but had change to do some culling.

He's so well behaved though.

Having had the opportunity to do both plains game and dangerous game (sitting in a blind overnight), these lists are quite spot on. I would agree with a safari vest (no buckles), chap stick and eyedrops. Another thought regarding binos. When you are tracking/stalking PG for the first time...

Same thing that lady in Canada at the Tim Robbins did, drop panties, shit on the floor, then scoop up said shit and throw shit at it.

Lead poisoning perhaps?

It's biblical folks, You reap what you sow, otherwise known as karma, payback etc.

Just finished a hunt in Namibia. One day another client and her PH came across a Black Mamba. The stopped and waited for it to cross the track. It instead decided to raise up in front of the truck to get a better look at the occupants. It opened it's mouth and gave a good hiss then dropped...

My world is roiling in confusion right now. I did notice that Royal27 (or was it someone else) declared that he is a vegetarian. He can't be both! A vegetarian (Indian word for bad hunter) and he has still hunted all over the world. I guess I will have to accept that fact. Man there are a...
